mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/cdrom is not a directory Error
 

Hi,

I am trying to install RHEL without using CD through NFS.

As part of this I was checking mount iso in localhost of NFS server. It gives me following error
"mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/cdrom is not a directory"


===========================
[root@Kickstart-cdrom]# mount -t nfs -o ro localhost:/home/rhel-server-6.4-x86_64-dvd.iso /mnt/cdrom
mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/cdrom is not a directory
=============================

However /mnt/cdrom is valid directory !!

Can someone help me to resolve this issue.

-Thx

I guess because it is a iso file you need mount -o loop /home/xxx.iso /mnt/cdrom to mount it.
